COMMENTS: Today we see CHP versus C.C., you see. (Say that five times fast.) This is Sabathia's first career start against the Dodgers, as he's been busy compiling a lifetime 105-71 record against mostly AL opponents. This is Park's second start of the season, as he's been providing capable long relief for the Dodgers. And if Cliff Lee can make the Dodger bats disappear, as he did last night, then Sabathia is likely to do the same today. Hopefully Joe Torre will start Russell Martin; the Dodgers without Furcal are punchless enough; the Dodgers without Furcal and Martin have less sock than an armless boxer.

Speaking of Loney, this morning, when i did a quick research on LaRoche facial hair, i remembered what Orel said about facial hair being a big thing on the Dodgers clubhouse so i made another research and found a gem.

Hello everyone. Just got in from taking a friend to the airport, and now I'm a little depressed. Hopefully the Dodgers can win and make me feel a little better. The Red Sox are definitely not doing their part.

I need some advice: i'm worried about my meeting with the people from school. I guess i'm worried about the girls. The ones that are organizaing this thing were very mean to me back then and i don't know what to wear (something it doesn't really happen very often). What do you say: a) sort of hot or b)stylish?

The update is that my girlfriend's grandmother has been sick for a while, and it looks like she'll probably go any minute now. It's my girlfriend's last living grandparent, albeit one that she wasn't that close to, so it's sad. She actually can't make it to Pittsburgh this weekend, though, so that's not who I was taking to the airport. Just a friend who had been working here in Chicago on the movie, and who we came to really like. So I'm sad she's gone.

If the reunion were in July, I'd consider it because I could go on my way back to Los Angeles. But I'm driving back across the country, spending some time in Texas, and then heading home. I just won't feel like getting back up and heading to Florida for the reunion.

Sometimes mom is all you need. She came in, saw i've covered the bed with clothes and then she says a couple of things and grabs something i had discarded, puts it next to something i was trying on and it's all solved.

Mom: is ****** going?Me: he's working abroad...Mom: is he going to the reunion on July?Me: he said over the facebook group he would.Mom: for that reunion honey, you have to look as beautiful as you possibly can, so he realizes what he missed.

****** was my school crush. He was around me the entire time but he never did anything and i was too shy and insecure to encourage him.

Same here. They're all my very good friends, i've been friends with them since 5th grade and we've been together through thick and thin. I know why they don't want to go, specially considering what these people were with them, but they also know it won't be easy for me. They know i'm pretty anxious and need the support.

That's what they agreed (without consulting me): that i go alone, that i'm entitled to take decisions for them, i'll get back home and they'll pick me up and they'll buy me vodkatinis (and some chocolate, if it goes bad). I'll gossip with them and that'll be it.
